Lot of centrists downvoting this because they hate the idea of earning votes.
Because I hate the idea of encouraging people to set themselves up to become lifetime losers. Its bad for them. It’s bad for progressives. It’s good for conservatives and reactionaries.
Courting voters is bad for voters?
No. What is bad for voters is when voters do not vote for the viable candidate that is closest to what they want. When they don’t do that, they are setting themselves up to become a lifetime loser in politics. They will either never get what they want, or if they do get what they want, it will only happen because of other people voting differently than how they vote.
None of you will ever understand that votes have to be earned.
And here is what you do not understand. The reason for voting for a candidate isn’t to do any favors for the candidate. It is to do yourself a favor. If you don’t vote for the best candidate because they didn’t “earn” it that is incredibly stupid., Because you are not “punishing” that person – you are primarily punishing your own self. Harris is going to be just fine. You are going to be fucked in so many different ways.
I voted for Harris. Not everyone is like me.
I accept the reality that votes must be earned. You seem to be under the impression that being second worst is sufficient to win.
The last election just showed you were wrong.

You seem to be under the impression that people who voted for Harris did so in order to Kamala Harris a f*cking personal favor. None of us who voted for her did so as a favor. We all voted for Harris to do ourselves and the country a favor. You’re gonna be screwed by Donald Trainwreck just as much as everyone else. Probably more them me in fact.
well, “the youth” are about to get a heaping taste of nothing working in any part of the government at all ever even a little bit, i wonder how “the youth” are going to feel when their internet is data capped, pirate sites are blocked at the dns level, isp’s are allowed to increase the price of simple connectivity, their favorite sharing sites are taken offline
guess “the youth” are gonna have to figure out for themselves through suffering, there was a better way, all they had to do was vote for it
Thank god you didn’t have to stoop to treating them like people with agency. Now you get to rejoice as they suffer with you.
This sounds like another one of those “set yourself up to become a lifetime loser” articles.
40 percent of young voters said they will only support candidates who prioritize climate change—it’s a “deal breaker.”
Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on climate change, if that is an important issue.
If you don’t do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.
we have to be honest about the opportunities the Democratic Party has had to secure the right to choose across the country.
Which that there were no such opportunities.
Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on abortion, if that is an important issue.
If you don’t do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.
Without jumping through congressional hoops, President Biden could cancel student debt today.
No, he cannot. The reverse in fact is true. Even though Biden got legislation passed allowing for student debt cancellation, cvonservatives still blocked it.
Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on student debt cancellation, if that is an important issue.
If you don’t do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.
Kamala Harris declared, “As commander-in-chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world,”
That’s not what Fascism means at all. Fascism means you eliminate the ability of citizens to chose their own leaders.
Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the not a super Fascist?
If you don’t do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.
